Grant Description
Grants to Minnesota educational programs to develop the state's healthcare workforce. Funding is intended to provide health professionals with clinical training in new and existing programs. Funding is specifically intended to provide training in one of the following specialties: advanced practice registered nurses, dental therapists and advanced dental therapists, mental health professionals, pharmacists, and physician assistants.

Grants will support the establishment or expansion of clinical training for eligible health professional training programs. Clinical training is a required step for health professionals seeking licensure and opportunities to receive clinical training are limited. Providing opportunities to assist in funding clinical training programs will strengthen Minnesota’s healthcare workforce and increase access to primary care and mental health services in rural and underserved urban areas. This grant program funds activities associated with creating and implementing new clinical training programs and expanding existing clinical training programs in rural and underserved urban areas in Minnesota. 

Grant outcomes should include:

  • An increase in the number of clinical training opportunities for health professionals.
  • An increase in access to health care in rural and underserved urban communities in Minnesota.
  • Grant performance will be measured by the submission of quarterly progress reports that track activities as listed in the Project Work Plan

Other Competitive Priorities

  • Efficient operation of the training program once the grant project is completed.
  • The proposed project incorporates team-based primary care in rural and underserved urban communities
